Hey guys! My friend has a Galaxy SII. He wants me to update it to a new custom ROM (he said do the Omega ROM latest one). I have rooted that one on 2.3.6 (don't remember the Recovery though). So all I know it that the process isn't as simple as just flashing the ROM (Partition Layouts?)
Anyways, I searched all over I couldn't find a suitable Guide for this procedure. I have attached the "About Phone" page of the Phone. A simple numbered guide by any of u will be highly obliged

Taken from Omega ROM thread:
Boot to CWM Recovery using volume up, power button and home key.
Backup your device and make sure to keep a copy of the backup to your pc!
Wipe data / factory reset (Not needed if you already have Omega).
Install Omega
(Wipe cache will be done automatically during installation so you can skip this step

If you don't have CWM recovery (assuming you know what it is), you can flash a custom kernel containing cwm or use rom manager, or even use temporary cwm zips.

Oh ok. I knew that process I was just confirming those Partition Layouts that can mess up the phone. like the CWM Recovery now is on GB. Will this cause any problem in the JB update. Though u did explained that to me in the next part

Good work! U got it correct. But custom ROMs come with custom kernels and recoveries included. So u don't need to flash another kernel unless u need a different kernel..

Maybe if you can explain what you don't get, then i can help you futher.
After you flashed a samsung stock rom, dail this code *2767*3855# (this will preform a factory reset, everything will lost)
About the firmware: I don't think you have a carrier lock, so just take the newest firmware for your country.

You didn't tell me anything about " How to backup and restore, in case I brick my phone "
And oh yes !!!!!! after flashing I want it to be unrooted.
Actually, my phone is heating up, specially around the camera and upper Samsung logo. Thats why im switching it back to its original version. Maybe this is cause of the heating problem.
And thank you very much.

if you flash the firmware using odin, root will be removed. before you do this activity read more on flashing this will help you avoid bricking your device. after flashing the firmware via odin and if you are stuck in samsung logo, just reboot the device in recovery mode and do factory reset/wipe and then reboot it should be fine.
Hello All,
What is the best root package for XWLSN on GTi9100 ?? I flashed Siyah-s2-v6.0b4.tar which broke connectivity to PC by Kies completely. I retried connecting by enabling and disabling Developer options > USB debugging but no use. Kies keeps on trying to connect then fail...PC version of Kies is up to date (Windows 7) though. Is it normal for rooted phones to have problems with Kies?

Not for Siyah, since its a custom kernel.
But Philz is the stock kernel itself, and hence it differs for different regions/builds (like CF kernels).

As quoted by Intratech:
CSC*is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.

After I rooted my UK S2, I found 3 things have stopped working:
1. Bluetooth
2. Voice control (causes the phone to freeze for about 8 seconds)
3. The home button (now does nothing)
I attempted to install (correct term?) android 4.2.2 and seemed to all go well, however, when I had finished flashing it, the phone booted, with the new startup screen, which just stayed there for 30 minutes. So I had to restore the phone to a backup from months ago.
The 3 broken things still don't work.
Help...
Tell me how u rooted, on which firmware u are now, which rom did u flash (correct term)?
U have the I9100 right?
"To err is human, to forgive is divine"
Sent from my SGS II
Yes I have a I9100 - UK version.
How rooted: I used Odin3v185 and the cable, connected to my Windows 7 PC..
The first file I used to root:
"CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar " - this failed. So I used
"Siyah-s2-v6.0b4.tar" - which worked.
My current "about phone" screen screenshot attached as an image. I am back on 4.0.4 as I restored a backup (with CWM) to get my phone to even start. But the other problems from my OP still exist.

Which rom I flashed might be a moot point, because I am pretty sure I had these problems since I rooted the phone.
I am also not sure how to find which rom is on my phone. I assume the info in the screenshot is helpful, if not I will follow any instructions.
Hope someone can help. Thank you so much...
PS. One thing. I just remembered, before flashing the new rom, I backed up all the phone and SD card files to my PC HD, and then wiped both SD card and the phone memory.
You have 4.0.4 now, with Siyah v6 (according to your screen shot). That kernel should be ur problem.
Siyah v6 is for 4.1.2 JB ROMs.
Please flash Siyah v5.0.1 and see if the issues persist.
A word of advice:
Avoid doing factory reset or restoring nandroid backup while you're on 4.0.4. You're safe with the Siyah kernel, but I wouldn't take my chances with the eMMC Brickbug.

After I rooted my UK S2, I found 3 things have stopped working:
1. Bluetooth
2. Voice control (causes the phone to freeze for about 8 seconds)
3. The home button (now does nothing)

For your information, rooting is not responsible for this. Its the kernel u used to root that is responsible.

I attempted to install (correct term?) android 4.2.2 and seemed to all go well, however, when I had finished flashing it, the phone booted, with the new startup screen, which just stayed there for 30 minutes.

That is known as a 'bootloop'. It is quite common when upgrading from ICS to JB. A simple factory reset would have solved that bootloop.

I suggest you move far away from ICS 4.0.4. You can either upgrade to JB 4.1.2, or use ICS 4.0.3.

Just check the Build Version to see which rom u currently have.
In ur case, u have XWLPT build, which is the stock 4.0.4 rom.

All these rom version numbers are a bit of a headache.
Where should I get the roms from? Is there a site with a list of the roms?
Edit:
I got the Siyah v5.0.1 kernel here

Took 2 minutes to solve the problem.

I agree.
I just flashed Siyah v5.0.1 - It fixed the problem. I don't know how or why. Can you please explain?
Also, it didn't delete anything off the phone. But whatever I did before, deleted everything from my phone.

Anyway who cares about that, the main thing for now is I want to get Jellybean onto my handset. What zip file should I get that will not cause my phone problems?
Its up to u mate wot u wnt if u wnt stock (4.1.2) its few out there like wanam,neat rom etc. or if u wnt cm10.1 (4.2.2) i prefer rootbox but u have to just read and make decision.
Best wot u can do before u flash rom download "rom nuke script" it will format all old rubish then u can flash. With stock i think u just download zip and flash a with cm 1st flash rom 2nd gapps and enjoy . but before that read read read good luck mate

You start with a clean slate. No probability of errors due to old junk. Simple.
In my opinion, since u have 4.0.4, I would avoid that just to be extra safe.

Again simple explanation:
Kernels control the hardware like bluetooth, wifi etc. They are different for different android versions. You used a kernel for Jellybean and so some hardware functionality was lost.
Flashing a kernel means replacing the previous kernel code with a new one. So it doesn't delete anything from ur phone.

Since u asked for a zip file, u are planning to flash JB via recovery, right?
Like stopro said, you must FIRST CHOOSE what type of a rom u want:
1. Stock firmware (with or without root)
2. Custom rom based on stock
3. Custom AOSP/AOKP rom
Once you decide on that, we can guide you better.

So when I flash a new kernel, I have to root it again? Or my handset will stay rooted?
As for Jelly bean... I just want to start with the stock rom and stock kernel. Can you please tell me what to get.

No, once you root, flashing a kernel will not unroot you. You need to flash a stock firmware to unroot.
You get all stock firmwares from sammobile.com.

Oh. I want to stay rooted. I guess I just want the stock jellybean. and a jellybean, rooted kernel.
sammobile needs me to be registered. worth it? Anywhere else I can get what I need?
Would you help me pick a guide for flashing my phone to jellybean?

Ur right.. u got the basic idea! :thumbup:
Registration is free mate! Worth it too! Because you can search for the exact firmware for ur region and carrier!
But if you don't want to register, find all generic stock firmwares here:

Hi peeps, recently my phone's data connection is not working properly. I cant seem to send/receive msgs on whatsapp, can search for videos in youtube but cant load the videos, speedtest app able to download but not able to upload. I'd flashed 3 differents ROMs (Neat, RR, Jellybam) and the results are all the same. I'd too flashed dorimanx kernel after each attempt on each ROM and changed the modem but it still doesnt help. I'm currently using rom - Jellybam 7.0, kernel - dorimanx 9.14, modem - XXLS8. Was wondering if anyone can help on this or point in a direction that I can read up on. Thanks!
